[Mr. Palau]

Ok so the text in the game, such as on the pasture assign screen, the z screen, and the trading screen, is flashing sometimes, and some parts are blacked out. But in the vanilla game I have no problems with any of the text. It is only when I download graphics mods. I've tried two, any idea why this happens or how to fix it, or both?

Known bug, to correct it disable TrueType.

And please, bug Toady about it. Please toady, fix this. It's annoying as hell.

It's my understanding that Baughn wrote that code and Toady hasn't got the expertise to fix it. Forgive me if that's incorrect.

I believe F12 is the keyboard shortcut for disabling TrueType - so you don't need to turn it off in init.txt, just press F12 on screens that have a problem and then press again to turn it back on after. Sometimes pressing it twice to turn it off and on again clears this stuff up too.

[Mr. Palau]

Thank you!

Correct, that's Baughn's department. If you want to fix it, the source code is here.
